(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)

Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJAx2JunqU
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.

Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRdKmb77VI
Lord Preen: Æther, dear friend, a marvel of our age! A force harnessed from the celestial heavens, powering our contraptions with the might of suspensium and the very essence of the skies.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe5Vl7BOZC
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPCy7VZzzJ
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH57nXuQ66
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ230gQsBsVF
Lord Preen: Aye, the Adapetus Æther is nothing like his predecessor, the Mechanical. He's plagued by paranoia and nervously tinkers with this new Æther technology.

(The protagonist and Lord Preen walk past the imposing Æther Machine, her wings beginning to glow and hum as they near it)
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvHbcJ2BsP
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9Gl7dvLGZ
Lord Preen: (Observant) Indeed, these wings seem to have a curious connection to Æther-powered devices. Perhaps we should find the Adapetus Æther for an explanation.

Lord Preen: "Hark, the pursuit of another Adapetus, my dear! Were I bestowed a farthing for each such endeavour, I would rival the entire fortune of Narciss.

Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S318ZVb1P
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
